Machine Operation
JUMP START SENSOR
The jump start sensor is intended to reduce the seed gap
when starting from a stop with the planter in the ground.
For the jump start sensor to work as intended, the planter
speed sensor needs to be set within /" of the pick-up
disc. The planter speed sensor also needs to be calibrated
properly and have the speed source set to automatic.
Refer to Kinze ISOBUS Operator’s Manual or Blue
Vantage Operator’s Manual for calibration instructions.
If the planter speed sensor is set-up properly, the start-up
gap should be no more than 4 feet. (1.2M)
If no gap is desired, there are two options for eliminating
the gap completely:
Jump start sensor
Pick-up disc
Jump Start Sensor and Pick-up Disc
FIELD OPERATION
Planters are designed to operate within a speed range of 2 - 8 mph (3 - 13 kph). Higher ground speeds can cause
more variation in seed spacing. Speeds above 6.5 mph (10.5 kph) are typically not recommended.
Always raise planter out of ground when
making sharp turns or backing up.
NOTICE
Normal field planting operation requires use of tractor's hydraulic control to raise and lower planter frame when
making field turnarounds.
Operate row markers in float position to
prevent damage to row markers.
NOTICE
Operate row markers with Blue Vantage control or tractor's hydraulic control. After markers are lowered to ground,
move hydraulic control to operate markers in float position. Marker speed is controlled with flow control valves located
in planter left hand wing block. One valve controls raise speed and other valve controls lower speed of both markers.
See ““Row Marker Speed Adjustment” on page 2-30 and ““Row Marker Cable Adjustment” on page 2-31.
If the planter is equipped with Blue Drive refer to M0288 - Kinze Blue Vantage Operator’s Manual for marker control.
1. Use the jump start button available on the ISOBUS or Blue Vantage display. Pressing this button will start
turning the drives. Once a speed source is acquired, it will take over control. Refer to the ISOBUS or Blue
Vantage Manual for further instructions on the jump start button.
2. Pick the planter up, back up 10 - 12 feet (3 - 3.6M), set the planter down and resume planting. The section
control will turn the drives on at the correct time.
